War On Drugs Dollars A Year
1,681 words
Legalization of marijuana offers both benefits,
and disadvantages. The medical benefits of
marijuana have been researched and proven to aid
patients with glaucoma and some forms of cancer.
Other benefits include: fewer people in prison and
fewer social problems for the users because they
get help instead of jail time. The big question
remains: all out legalization or legalization for
medical use, or decriminalization. Whatever the
outcome, marijuana use needs to be based on its
own pharmacology ...

African American Women Positive Relationship
698 words
The divorce rate for African American women is 60
%, which is a devastating number. In most black
households the statistics becomes a reality. This
occurs more often because black women rush into
love too soon and frequently end up with marginal
men. Women in highly publicized relationships
unfortunately have not been inspiring role models
to young black women. Tina Turner and Whitney
Houston-Brown endured abuse for the name of love
where as Robin Givens realized she had to release
her self from...

Kill A Mockingbird Kill A Mocking Bird
1,894 words
This is an essay about To Kill A Mocking Bird.
Throughout the course of history there have always
been men and women who have preyed on the
innocent. They do this not because it is easy, nor
because it is hard, but rather because they can.
They are the aftermath of poverty and poor
upbringings. These universal troublemakers are
present in every form of society. They believe
that the ends always justify the means as long as
the fate of their mischief is bestowed upon
someone else. At times like t...

The Value Of Multicultural Education In America

Multicultural education emerged in the 1990 s to
address the educational needs of our modern

cultures. Carrying the legacy of the 1960 s and
1970 s, a period of profound social change when
the people of our nation reexamined their cultural
heritage, multicultural education presents and
examines the values and practices of other
cultures objectively and critically. Although
founded on Western culture, American culture has
always been diverse, both rel...

African Americans Promised Land
688 words
Man child in the Promised Land by Claude Brown is
one of the most realistic books written about life
in Harlem. Although the book is not a memoir, the
main hero of the book resembles the author itself
in many ways, there are a lot of details that
allow us to suggest that actually the book is
about life of Claude Brown himself. The main idea
conveyed throughout the book is that life in
Harlem was so violent and harsh in its nature,
that it was not possible at all to be a regular
kid in that commu...

Analysis Of Passing By Nella Larsen

Racial Profiling In America
2,321 words
Racial Profiling in America The contemporary
understanding of the concept of race by scientists
and other intellectuals is very vague. Nowadays it
is argued that race is an artificial category,
although there still exist attempts to classify
people according to categories: for instance, such
categories as class, race, and gender; these
categories are proved to have no scientific basis.
The term "race" is a modern concept that has
adopted a whole new meaning, over the past few
centuries, from the...

Elijah Muhammad Marcus Garvey
968 words
Not all African-American leaders in the 1950 s and
1960 s agreed with Dr. Martin Luther Kings ideas
of nonviolence. Some blacks did not want to be
brothers with whites. They did not think
integration would work either. They wanted a
separate black nation. Malcolm X was the most
outspoken of Kings opponents. As a minister in the
Black Muslim movement, Malcolm X called for
militant action in the fight against racism. He
was tired of waiting for progress in the racial
struggle. Malcolm X thought bl...

Faragher And Dippie Views On The West People

Faragher: Beyond the Western Frontier After
reading Faragher s and Dippie s essays, I found a
lot of similarities and differences in their
writing and their comments. They both seem to
agree on the view of Turner s comments and it
seemed people agreed with these views but his
views were never challenged. Once people like
Faragher and Dippie challenged Turner s views,
people went from agreeing with Turner s views to
opposing these views. It seems that today in this

Liberation Liberation Movement

Feminism is defined as an organized activity on
behalf of women? s rights and interests. To me,
this statement encompasses all women; regardless
of race, class, ethnicity, sexual preference, age
or religion. While I agree that these factors do
influence and shape a woman? s individual
experiences, I believe that women everywhere are
oppressed just for being biologically different
than males. In Feminist Frontiers, it is stated
that? women everywhere suffer restrictions,

African American People Bondage And My Freedom

Frederick Douglass tried to evoke a desire for
Liberation amongst the African-American people in
his writings and oratory. To many people, Douglass
appeared to be the black Moses, leading his people
to freedom not only physically, but mentally and
getting there by non-violent means. Douglass
believed that if he could successfully show that
blacks were in fact equal to whites, he thought
that in turn everyone would recognize this and put
an end to slavery. Frederick Douglass has emerged
